Abstract

In this paper we consider a delayed mathematical model of cell cycle. Adding drug toxicity, the model is modified and developed. A proper Lyapunov function is suggested for stability analysis. Furthermore,  by obtaining a criterion for appropriate control, it is shown that any treatment strategy which satisfies  the criterion, causes  the system converge to tumor free equilibrium point.
